and i think emotionally governor christie felt that president obama and the federal government were in there for him, were helping, and did a good job. i think governor christie deserves enormous credit for saying that. he could have just been very political. he wasn't. president obama wasn't political. i think his bipartisanship is what is going to be needed after the election that we saw in new jersey and we're seeing in the northeast and we should keep that out of politics. >> i want to ask about the attack on the consulate in benghazi. this story is no longer about mitt romney's response. how big a problem is this for the obama administration? >> well, what needs to happen is a thur row investigation. that's being done by very reputable people that have served in the foreign service. the issue has to be were those calls for additional personnel properly handled. and i think the state department needs to conduct a thorough investigation. what's bad about the benghazi issue is how it's been politicized. four americans were killed. let's get to the bottom of how it happened and not ma
